Dr. Michael Halasz

Dentist

Dr. Halasz has been living in the south Dayton area since the summer of 1982. After graduating from Centerville High School in the fall of 1983, he went to The Ohio State University for his undergraduate education, as well as dental school. After working as an associate dentist for six and a half years, he decided to open his own practice in October of 1998.

Dr. Halasz’s philosophy is simple…provide everyone only the highest quality dental care, treating everyone as if they were members of his own family. He and his staff regularly attend continuing education courses to stay up-to-date on all of the latest techniques and procedures.

Dr. Halasz and his wife, Teri, have 3 grown children, Rachel, Grant, and Lindsey. Dr. Halasz enjoys golfing and physical fitness. He has been known to occasionally perform stand-up comedy at the local comedy clubs. He is also a HUGE fan of Ohio State sports. Dr. Halasz is a past-president of the Dayton Dental Society and the Ohio Dental Association. He remains very active, serving on several Councils and Committees at the Ohio Dental Association, as well as the American Dental Association.

Amber Duff

Receptionist

I graduated from Miami University and The Dayton School of Dental Assisting. I have been in the dental field for 15 years working and I have been working with Dr. Halasz since 2016. I love vacationing in Siesta Key, Florida with my husband. I also enjoy spending time with my three adult children and my two beautiful granddaughters.

Andrea Gill

Hygiene Assistant

I graduated from assisting school for a refresher in 2023, after a long hiatus from the dental field. I immediately joined the amazing team here at Dr. Halasz’s office. My goal is to further my education to become an EFDA (Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary). In my free time, I stay busy with my young son and my husband. We spend a lot of time with soccer, as my son plays club soccer and my husband coaches at Wright State. We enjoy visiting Anna Maria Island every summer and my husband’s family in the Caribbean each winter.

I joined Dr. Halasz in 2008 as assistant and eventually became an EFDA (Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary). I love getting to know our patients and building those long term relationships. Outside of the office, my husband and I stay busy having adventures with our two young daughters.

Lizzie Shawver

Chairside Assistant; EFDA

I’ve been with this dental practice for nine years and genuinely love what I do. For the past five years, I’ve worked as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistand (EFDA), and it’s been an incredibly rewarding journey. I especially enjoy connecting with our patients and supporting them through each step of their procedure, making their experience as comortable as possible. Outside of work, nothing brings me more joy than spending quality time with my little family at home. with family and going out with friends.
